Mersey Morris Men and Deva Brass
Last weekend, as well as the ever-popular annual Mersey Morris Men's Ceiledh, the Deva Brass Quintet played to an appreciate audience at Neston Methodist Church.
This featured the founder of the original Neston Music Festival, Mark Powell (trumpet) who spoke of the background to each piece. The music was varied in origin, mood and style and concluded on a happy note with an accomplished and jolly 'Floral Dance'.

Raising money for charity
Neston Civic Society were able to donate the surplus from the jazz concert that opened the festival, and which they sponsored, to Age UK (Neston). The picture shows Age UK's Anne Jones receiving the cheque for £441 from Society Chairman Rob Ward, with concert organiser Clive Edwards and Society Treasurer Janet Griffiths looking on.
